BACKGROUND: The insulin-induced gene 1 (INSIG1) encodes a protein that blocks proteolytic activation of sterol regulatory element binding proteins, which are transcription factors that activate genes that regulate cholesterol, fatty acid, and glucose metabolism. OBJECTIVE: We tested for associations between 6 INSIG1 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (and captured all common variations in INSIG1) and the...
